Fatima Ronquillo

Fatima Ronquillo "The Runaways" 2012

I find myself rather obsessed with Fatima Ronquillo's work. Her paintings are evocative of the old masters, by way of Botero, with some Kahlo thrown in for good measure. There are so many elements here which drive me wild with delight: woodland creatures, lovers' eyes, arrows, gauzy gowns, and on and on and on. Sumptuously strange.
